I have reading a new of USA and was very surprised when I see that a new chalange involve tins putting laundry-detergent pods in their mouth is raising concern at experts.
“These tins are trying to be funny, and now put them in danger injestin this dangerous some detergents who looking as candies.
After ten thousands calls to poison centers control, the laundry detergent will getting fresh look :
- Adding an harmful agent to the packet outter film will provides “repulsif” taste.
- The container helding the packet won’t be transparent or look as a candies jar. He will acquire more skill to opening, and my GrandMa « poor hands » will be unallowed opening them to…
- Adding a new warning statments and safty symbol ( but it is use-free as the very young kids cannot red !)

READY TO BE CORRECTED, THANK YOU HERE4U it was not so easy...

1) was/ had/ 18-year-old/ school/ victim/ high/ finished/ who/ an/ one/ just.
One victim who was 18-year-old had just finished an High school.
Un victime qui avait 18 ans venait de finir le lycée.

2) first/ on/ job/ day/ it/ summer/ his/ work/ was/ of/ a.
It was his first day on work of a summer job
C’était son premier jour de travail d’un emploi d’été

3) far/ still/ the/ so/ missing/ killed/ toll/ 14/ 37/ with/ miners/ is.
So far, the toll is 14 killed miners with still 37 missing
Bilan provisoire, le bilan est de 14 mineurs tués avec encore 37 portés disparus.


I have BEEN reading a NEWS of THE USA and was very surprised when I UNDERSTOOD that a new CHALLENGE INVOLVEd TEENS putting laundry-detergent pods in their MOUTHS WERE raising PROBLEM at experts.

“These TEENS are trying to be funny, and now put them in danger INJECTING/SWALLOWING THESE dangerous detergents WHICH LOOK LIKE candies.

After ten THOUSAND calls TO THE poison CONTROL CENTER, the laundry detergent will GET NEW ASPECT:

- Adding an harmful agent to the OUTER film OF THE PACQUET WHICH will PROVIDE/HAVE “REPULSIVE” taste.

- The container HOLDING the packet won’t be transparent or WON’T look LIKE a CANDY jar. He will REQUIRE more skill to BE OPENED, and my GrandMa « poor hands » will be UNHALLOWED TO OPEN them TOO…
- Adding a new warning STATEMENT and SAFETY symbol ( but it is NO USE BECAUSE the very young kids cannot READ !)
- The outer film OF THE PACKET will be STRONGER, BECOMING MORE difficult to MAKE A HOLE IN
Of course better solution should REALLY be DONE to MAKE sure, kidS and teenagerS WON’T BE ABLE TO PUT THEIR HANDS INTO detergents.

I have READ (supp a ) newS FROM THE USA and I was very surprised when I SAW a new CHALLENGE that involved TEENS putting laundry detergent pods in their mouth.THIS is raising concerns WITH experts.
these 10-YEAR-OLD were trying to be funny, and now put themselves in danger ingesting this dangerous detergent WHICH looks like CANDY.
After ten thousand calls to the POISON CONTROL CENTRE (center in the USA)laundry detergents will GET A fresh look .
-Adding a harmLESS agent ON THE POD OUTER OF THE CELLOPHANE WRAP will provide A REPULSIVE taste.
-The container hOlding the PODS won't be transparent,and COULD NOT LOOKS LIKE A candies-jar .It WILL HAVE acquire more skillS to open THEM, and my Grandma "poor hands"WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN THEM EITHER .
- adding a new warning statment and safety symbol ( but it WOULD BE USELESS DUE (supp the) very young kids can not read !)
- The PACKAGING OUTSIDE PODS WILL BE STRONGER making IT MORE difficult to BREAK THROUGH.
Of course better solutionS COULD BE FOUND TO REALLY MAKE SURE that kids and teenagerS cOULD not PLUNGE THEIR HANDS ON DETERGENTS.

je n arrive pas à m'en sortir avec cette derniére phrase !
The best solution would be that children don't put their hands on the detergent ?
je n arrive pas à comprendre ce qu il a voulu dire exactement . je suis épuisée
Bravo et merci pour ce devoir.

Hello Here4u and all hard workers .OK FOR CORRECTION
(I Wonder whether the poor student hasn't drunk too much of "gwin ruz")
( Bretons will understood )

Of course better solution should be to realy made sure kid and teenager cannot lie his hand in detergents.

I am reading a piece of news from the USA and I am very surprised to see that a new challenge is involving now kids and teenagers .These ones put laundry- detergent pods in the mouth and experts said this terrible situation became a raising concern .
These teenagers try to have fun in swallowing these dangerous products which look like candies and consequently put their life in danger .
After ten thousand calls to Poison Center Control, laundry detergent pods should get a new look and here are the résolutions decided by the authorities
1-Add an harmful agent on the outer package film which will provide a repulsive taste .
2-Pack containing the products won't be neither transparent nor looking like a pack of candies .It will require more skills to open them and the distorted fingers' Grandma won't be able to open neither .

3- Add new warning statements and safety control ,(children not knowing reading aren't concerned by this resolution.)

4-Outer package film will be more stronger and more difficult to bite through.
Of course the best solution is to be sure that kids and teenagers can't put their hands inside the pack of detergent ..

I HAD BEEN reading a NEWS FROM THE US and I was very surprised when I LEARNT that KIDS WERE EXPOSED TO THE DANGEROUS CHANCE Of putting laundry-detergent pods, THEY WERE TAKING FROM THE PACKING TINS, in their mouth, THUS raising concern AMONG experts.
These tins are LOOKING very funny SO THAT THE KIDS ARE BEING ATTRACTED TO INGEST some PODS, BELIEVING THEY ARE candies.
After ten THOUSAND calls to THE poison CONTROL CENTERS, the laundry-detergent PACKETS ARE GOING TO GET A NEW look:
-THE ADDITION OF A HARMLESS REAGENT TO THE PODS’ WRAPPING OUTER FILM, will PROVIDE THEM WITH a “repulsive” TASTE/(SMELL)*
* I do think that a " repulsive taste" couldn't be any prevention, because .
the kids would feel it only after putting the detersive in the mouth.
- The PACKAGING HOLDING the PACKETS WILL NO LONGER BE NEITHER transparent NOR LOOKING LIKE a CANDY jar . FURTHERMORE IT will REQUIRE more STRENGTH
TO HAVE IT OPENED, and FOR INSTANT, MY GRANDMA’S “poor hands” WOULDN’T ALLOW HER to….
- Adding a new warning STATEMENT and SAFETY LABEL (INDEED USELESS, BECAUSE the very LITTLE kids ARE NOT ABLE TO READ!)
- The packet’s outer WRAPPING film will be MUCH stronger, so that it could unlikely be pierced by bites.
Of course, THE better solution WOULD be THAT KIDS AND TEENAGERS WERE really PREVENTED FROM HANDLING detergents.


II) REMETTEZ LES ELEMENTS DANS L'ORDRE POUR FAIRE UNE PHRASE CORRECTE.(tous les éléments doivent être utilisés. )

Hello, all of you!

Vous m'avez dit avoir peiné sur cet exercice ... Par peiné, je ne veux pas dire qu'il vous a rendus tristes ... parce que vous me dites que vous vous êtes amusés ... mais que vous avez dû passer "un peu de temps" (disons, "un peu plus que prévu" ... parce que ces exercices vous ont résisté ...

I)Please, help my student! He really needs you! In the following text, there are many, many mistakes to correct...
I have read news from the USA and was very surprised when I saw that a new challenge involving teens putting laundry-detergent pods in their mouths(1) is raising concerns among(2) experts.
“These teens are trying to be funny, and are now putting (3)themselves in danger by ingesting some dangerous detergents that look like candy.
After tens of thousands of calls(4) to Poison Control Centers (= centres anti-poisons), the laundry detergent may be getting a fresh look :
- Adding an agent to the packet’s outer film will provide a “repulsive” taste.
- The container holding the packets won’t be transparent or look like a jar. It will require more skill to open. ( so that even my GrandMa’s « poor hands » will be unable to open them…)
- Adding new warning statements and safety symbols (but this is useless as the very young kids cannot read !)
- The packet’s outer film will be stronger, making it more difficult to bite (I bit, bitten : mordre) through.
Of course, the main solution would really be to make sure kids and teenagers cannot lay their hands on (5) detergents.

Attention aux temps : « I have read » est un present perfect de bilan. J’ai lu … et voilà ce que j’en ai retenu.
Un peu plus loin, il faudra penser au présent en –ing pour bien indiquer que l’action est actuelle.
- Attention : ne pas oublier l’article devant the USA (et tous pays formés de plusieurs Etats). Dans la conversation courante, l’article a tendance a disparaître, surtout aux USA.
(1) = pluriel concret. Chaque adolescent a une bouche … En tout, cela fait donc plusieurs bouches …
(2) among= parmi
(3) = present en –ing (trying/ putting) car il s’agit d’une activité qui se déroule dans la période présente.
(4) tens of thousands of calls= ici des dizaines de milliers d’appels. Les numéraux cardinaux ne sont pas des adjectifs, mais des noms. Ils s’accordent. Vous avez choisi des raccourcis : Thousands of calls = des milliers d’appels ; ou ten thousand calls= thousand est adjectif invariable. Personne n’a suivi mon élève dans son délire !
- Centres anti-poisons = mettre des majuscules en anglais.
- to make sure= s’assurer que
(5) to lay one’s hands on = mettre la main sur quelque chose.
- Detergents = détergents en général ; THE détergents = ces détergents là, en particulier.
- to really make sure=> « would really be to make » remplace le "split infinitive"(= adverbe placé au milieu des deux éléments de l'infinitif) fréquent aux USA, que l’anglais britannique n’accepte pas.

II) REMETTEZ LES ELEMENTS DANS L'ORDRE POUR FAIRE UNE PHRASE CORRECTE. (tous les éléments doivent être utilisés. )

1)was/ had/ 18-year-old/ school/ victim/ high/ finished/ who/ an/ one/ just.
One victim was an 18-year-old who had just finished high school.
ou: (à la rigueur ... ) One was an 18-year-old victim who had just finished high school.

2) first/ on/ job/ day/ it/ summer/ his/ work/ was/ of/ a.
It was on his first work day of a summer job.

3) far/ still/ the/ so/ missing/ killed/ toll/ 14/ 37/ with/ miners/ is.
